The Skinny Confidential Beauty Water is finally here. And boy oh boy am I glad.
Through years of blogging I’ve shared TONS of water concoctions, and I mean tons: The best iced tea on the planet, Collagen tea recipes, Morning spa water recipes and a lot more. Basically, I’m always upgrading my water and making it WORK for me.
The team and I have finally perfected our BEAUTY WATER and you can be sure the ingredients are clean and effective, not to mention EASY to add into your morning routine.
You may know why it’s important to hydrate first thing in the morning, but let’s go over it again.
WHY DO WE NEED TO HYDRATE IN THE MORNING?
You lose a lot of water through your breath and sweat when you sleep (Mouth Tape can help with this), so as soon as you wake up you want to hydrate with a big glass of water. Hydrating on an empty stomach can help:
+ Clean the colon
+ Flush toxins from your body
+ With elimination and gut health
+ Increase body’s efficiency at fighting infections
+ Rid your body of sodium from salty foods the day before
Years ago when I was reading Cameron Diaz’s book, something she wrote really stuck with me:
“Once I drink the water, I feel it immediately, I go from being a wilted plant to one that has been rejuvenated by the rain.”
It’s so true.
Now, studies are suggesting that drowning ourselves with 6L of water a day is doing nothing except depleting our bodies of minerals and wasting our time with countless trips to the bathroom. We need to be hydrating PROPERLY. And that means doing so in a way that maintains a proper mineral and electrolyte balance between our cells, so that our entire body benefits from our daily morning drink.
So when formulating this Beauty Water we wanted it to contain as few ingredients as possible, but pack it with as many benefits as we could. Which is why we settled on electrolytes, pearl powder and colostrum to hydrate, plump and renew your cells to make you GLOW FROM WITHIN.
BEAUTY WATER INGREDIENTS:
Electrolytes:
Electrolytes are especially important BEFORE you drink caffeine, because caffeine depletes your body of minerals. Electrolytes also:
+ support muscles and recovery
+ prevent cramping
+ support heart health
+ support nerve function
+ balance fluid retention
+ support blood pressure
Pearl Powder:
Used for centuries in Chinese beauty practices, pearl powder is known to stimulate collagen production, support an even skin tone and strengthen hair, skin and nails due to its rich calcium content. Other benefits of pearl powder:
+ Increased elasticity and firmness for ageless radiant skin
+ Stimulates your body to produce new youthful skin cells
+ Regenerates collagen
+ Heals acne & blemishes
+ Prevents skin aging & deterioration
+ Prevents fine lines, wrinkles by firming and plumping skin.
+ Reduces discoloration from sun damage, scars, freckles dark patches, & other discoloration
+ Naturally reduces pores
+ Tightens sagging skin through improved elasticity
Colostrum:
Colostrum can improve gut health and activate repair functions in every single cell of the body, showing benefits for muscle, strength and endurance. Thought to strengthen all areas of the body – skin, organs, eyes and hair.
I’ve been taking colostrum for years and it is so good for gut health, which means it’s healthy for your entire body. More benefits:
+ Boosts immunity
+ Supports gut health
+ Enhances muscle growth
+ Reduces inflammation
+ Supports wound healing
+ Promotes healthy bones
+ Increases brain function
+ Improves skin health
+ Reduces allergy symptoms
+ Increases cardiovascular health
You might know by now that I even put colostrum on my skin. One of my favorite moisturizers is by Epicuren and my facialist Staci Christie swears by it too.

Our formula is free of: preservatives, soy, fat, sugar, artificial additives, gluten, GMOs, antibiotics, hormones, and cruelty. And most importantly THERE ARE NO FILLERS OR ADDITIVES. Even though the formula is unflavored, you may taste a little kick. That’s the cayenne and ginger. These ingredients are antioxidants, added to support the electrolytes. They also balance taste and cleanse the palate.
As I said, we wanted to keep this supplement super clean, which means there’s no flavor, no chemicals, no additives or preservatives. To be very transparent, we did experiment with some flavoring. After about 6 months of taste tests we decided it wasn’t the way to go. There was no way to make it taste natural and keep the formulation ultra clean. Plus we added a wooden scoop so you don’t have a plastic spoon floating around your super-clean Beauty Water.
The best part of this Beauty Water is that you’re getting health benefits WITH BEAUTY benefits.
To keep it plain and simple:
Electrolytes help you hydrate properly.
Pearl powder enhances collagen production and plumps and strengthens hair, skin and nails.
Colostrum is amazing for gut health and helps renew every single cell in the body.
HOW TO USE:
Add one scoop to 8-12 oz of cold water and stir or froth. We recommend it first thing in the morning, but you can enjoy it at any time of day.
Enhance your unflavored Beauty Water with a freshly squeezed lemon or add it to your iced coffee, iced tea or other daily supplements.
HOW TO STORE:
Once opened, ensure to reseal your pouch to keep Beauty Water fresh and effective. Or, transfer to an airtight glass or ceramic container of your choice.
You’re hopefully drinking water when you wake up anyway, so why not add a scoop of something that only comes with benefits?
Sometimes I like to sit on my deck and take in the morning sun with Beauty Water and half a lemon over ice, or if I’m running out the door I add it to my favorite reusable glass water bottle and head to the gym or office. Obviously I love to use a frother for all my drinks.
It’s all so easy and seamless, which is always at the heart of our products. We always want things to be simple, quick and effective for you.
Hydrate properly.
Plump and strengthen hair, skin and nails.
Renew every cell in your body.
Upgrade, elevate, sex up, doctor, enhance – whatever you want to call it – make your water WORK for you.
As with every single product and launch, it’s only possible because of YOU. Your support, want and need for everything we create, feedback and LOVE makes elevating products to enhance your rituals an absolute dream.
THANK YOU.
